Bring every club you have!

When I first got to the course I asked a guy next to me in the parking lot if I needed to bring my driver and he said bring every club you have and more!

The course is very hilly and challenging and plays very long. Since you will be walking you will get a very good workout.

Hidden Gem

Course is in improving shape-fairways, greens are outstanding, true fast and tough. Not an easy track by any means, whether playing from blue tees or yellows (2nd set of tee boxes to make an interesting 18 out of this 9 hole course). Well worth visiting regularly. Staff is helpful and friendly even if you’re not a regular

Looks are deceiving

At first glance, looking down several fairways from the clubhouse, it looked like a mini Presidio with mature, grand cypress trees and emerald green fairways. The employee working at the clubhouse warned me that the course is in rough shape. He wasn’t kidding! The fairways were a carpet of mixed grasses, weeds and large dirt patches. There were areas that looked more like hiking trails. The greens were fast as glass. The bunkers were more dirt than sand. However, the layout of the course was nice, even though very hilly, and again, it looked pretty. Wasn’t there to keep score, but rather enjoy the walk and the surprise of where the ball will roll this time and whether or not I’ll be able to find it. Recommend a colored ball as there are many white flowers in the fairways and finding a white ball is difficult. It would be a real gem if it were in better shape!

Fantastic Staff but the course??

My first time at this course. Beautiful scenery , great staff and well laid out. Fairways were winter conditions and often muddy. Greens were sloped and fast. It was a challenging course but I will definitely go again.

Hidden Gem

Once again Gleneagles in McLaren Park did not disappoint. This a challenging, demanding course.

The course is in great shape, the fairways included. The greens remain arguably the best greens in the Bay Area, and certainly in San Francisco -Harding included!

Super friendly staff and course pup-George.

We’ll be back, this is truly a diamond in the rough of a course!

Fun course!

Don't let this 9-Hole course fool you. This course was challenging. Make sure you are ready to walk some hills—amazing views of the bay.

Great Full Length 9-Hole Golf Course

Really enjoyed playing this 9-hole golf course which includes Par 3, 4 and 5 holes. Most 9-hole golf courses in the Bay Area are only executive Par 3 courses.

The condition of the tee area and fairways could be better but the greens are in great condition.

Will definitely play here again!

Horrendous customer service

I went today to play this course with the lady. I am a avid golfer (3 handicap), I was disrespected today by the check in person.

First of all I took the lady out because she’s interested in learning golf and this course is a perfect place to do that. It was a rainy days so there was hardly anyone there. We ended up waiting on every single Teebox for the people in front of us.

Upon check-in the person recognized we had one bag of clubs in which she was going to play with and he started making comments such as “this is a golf course“ and “are you here to play golf” as if I just stumbled onto Augusta for the Masters. I walked up with a club set probably worth more than his entire month‘s paycheck and he asked me if I ever played golf before.

The course was in horrible condition. The pace of play was terribly slow. Most important, the customer service was absolutely terrible. I would not recommend the course to anyone not only based on the horrible service and friendliness but most importantly the actual course itself.

Great Value at this Hidden Local Track

I went out as a single in the morning. Had a twosome in front of me, didn’t see anyone behind. Pace of play was great. With the Cypress trees felt like a poor man’s Harding Park. Greens are firm and true.. Uneven lies and tight tee shots make it a challenge, and a great test for shot shaping. Will be back when I want to play a quick nine.
